The Israeli military announced it conducted a widespread overnight attack inside Iran, targeting dozens of military sites related to missile production, launch capabilities, and training facilities. The strikes reportedly hit locations across Iran, including Tehran and Yazd, and targeted operatives, missile systems, and infrastructure belonging to the Iranian military and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The IDF stated these actions aim to degrade Iran's weapons production capabilities. This comes as President Trump is reportedly delaying strikes against Iran's energy sector.
The Israel i military reportedly said Friday that it completed a wide scale wave of strikes overnight 'in the heart of Iran .' The Israel Defense Forces said it struck dozens of military industries, launch sites and operatives from the missile array in Tehran.
Acting on IDF intelligence, the Israeli Air Force 'completed a wide-scale wave of strikes targeting infrastructure belonging to the Iranian terror regime,' the IDF said. It added that the strikes 'further degraded production capabilities and struck dozens of weapons production sites.' Among the sites targeted were “a base used by the Iranian army to train operatives and store missile systems intended to target aircraft,” 'a site for the manufacturing and development of ballistic missile components,” 'a site for manufacturing batteries for weapons,' and a 'weapons production site' of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the IDF said. “Overnight, a staging and launch complex of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was struck, along with ballistic missile launch sites, air defense systems, and observation posts belonging to both the IRGC and the Iranian military,” according to the IDF. “In addition, the IDF identified several operatives from the ballistic missile array operating from a military structure in Tehran. Minutes after the identification, the Israeli Air Force struck and eliminated the terrorists who were planning to advance launches against the State of Israel.” The IDF also said in a post on X Friday that it hit the 'Iranian Regime’s primary facility for the productions of missiles and sea mines in Yazd, Iran.' 'The site was used for the planning, development, assembly, and storage of advanced missiles intended for launch from cruise platforms, submarines, and helicopters toward both mobile and stationary maritime targets,' it said. On Thursday, President Donald Trump confirmed he was placing a hold on strikes against Iran’s energy sector for another 10 days, until April 6. The pause is intended to allow time for ceasefire negotiations to take place. Fox News’ Emma Bussey, Yael Rotem-Kuriel and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
